Fuel Sender Question ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I plan to keep the gas tank in the cab of my 64.

I purchased a set of aftermarket gauges, and the fuel gauge is 0-90 OHM.
I know that the sender for 1964 is 0-30 OHM.

Can I replace the sender in the tank with a 1967 unit (0-90 OHM), as the tanks dimensions seem very close.

Ya with those gauges the original sender would not work. Although I'm not at all sure the 67 sender fits. I'm sure someone will chime in soon on that.

The '67-'72 fuel sender mounts to the tank differently than the '60-'66 fuel sender. You could combine the two to make one.

I can't seem to find where I bought mine, but Jegs lists one that supposedly is 90 ohms - might call and confirm ?

Went through this on a buddies truck a couple years back. We ended up removing the little resistor box off of a 67-72 sender and installing that on the earlier fuel sending unit. That way it used the correct later style 0-90ohm setup.
